Duration: 1 hour
No of observers: 17

Location: Santa Rosa, CA, USA

Shape: Light
Characteristics: Lights on object

Three distinct blue lights hover above northern Santa Rosa.

While having a poker party with some friends and their kids on September 6th 2009, we heard the kids (who were playing in the backyard) say “hey there's a UFO!” Not really paying any attention to them we went back to our game. The kids came in and made the parents go outside and look. We looked to the north just above the neighbor's house who live directly behind us. We saw what looked like a wide blue line that flickered. You could see it better with your peripheral vision. The light seemed to move side to side and up and down but hover in the same general area. I grabbed my video camera and it wouldn't pick up the lights. I then grabbed my still camera with a telephoto lens and was shocked to see on the view screen 3 distinct blue lights. I then took a few pictures and went back to finish our poker game, while my son continued to take more pictures. The time was about 9:30 pm when the kids first noticed the lights and it was about 10:45 pm when they (the kids) said it slowly moved to the right and lowered out of sight. If I had to guess the lights or globes were above an area called Larkfield, a small suburb north of Santa Rosa CA.
